This is the oldest piece of rolling stock on teh Boothbay Railway Village layout. Some people say it is Varney, others say it's Roundhouse. It is a cast metal kit dating from sometime in the 1950s. We have replaced the trucks and couplers so we can run it with out newer equipment

Show me an early steam locomotive, maybe a John Bull or DeWit Clinton?? If not that, something that ran in the mid 1800s

Here is my BLI NYC Hudson #5335 passing under the Route 23 viaduct at the head of a small passenger train on the BRVRR layout.

How about a train headed with a diesel passing under a viaduct or bridge?

Remember its your railroad
